"So, Weisser knows both you in the virtual world and you in the real world, just like the witch..."

There were some subtle hints in Sonia's tone.

Diya blinked and explained quickly: "Before you gave me the 'Spirit of Summoning' that contained the 'Secret Concept', I had no idea that the viewer was Ash! I didn't want to hide it, but so many things happened afterwards. I became Queen Yisu, the incarnation of the gospel, and had to rely on the secret-keeping power in the 'Secret Concept' to resist the pollution of the gods. At that time, I couldn't confess even if I wanted to."

"Now, it is only because I have used the miracle of 'overthrowing the superior' to barely contain the influence of the Gospel Spirit that I dare to reveal my true identity."

Ash was stunned and asked, "Then when Liz and I first met, you didn't know my true identity? Didn't you recognize me in the virtual world?"

"Have you forgotten your silver blessing, 'Observer's Appearance'?" Diya asked back, "I couldn't see your appearance clearly in the virtual world... It was not until you left the Gospel Kingdom that your 'Observer's Appearance' finally lost its effect in my eyes."

"And you deliberately didn't reveal your real situation in the virtual world. How could I associate the viewer and Ash together?"

Ash murmured, "I didn't expect it to be like this..."

He paused, looked at the two of them and said, "Then I may have met another witch, another sword lady."

He mentioned the Black and White who had signed a 'non-questioning treaty' with him, and the Dead Man who had visited him in Broken Lake Prison. Sonia and Diya shook their heads after hearing this: "I haven't done anything like that. Wait..."

Diya blinked and thought, "Then I seem to have met another viewer."

"Me too." Sonia murmured, "He appeared by my side two or three times..."

Ash asked curiously, "It's fine if I can't detect it, but can't you guys detect the difference either?"

"No, because..." Sonia groaned, "His tone and personality are similar to yours, not as obvious as the crazy person I told you about. But if you think about it carefully, he is a little stricter and colder than you. It's just that I didn't know you very well at that time, so at most I thought your personality was changeable from time to time."

"After we got to know each other, he never showed up again."

"I'm the same as you guys." Ash said, "We weren't very familiar with each other at first, so I didn't think much of it, but after we got to know each other, they stopped appearing."

Now Ash is sure that there are hidden settings in Aurora's Magician's Handbook that he doesn't know about. Who are the Death Maniac who led him into the magician's world in the Broken Lake, the Black and White who intentionally or unintentionally prevented him from recognizing Lisdiya in the Gospel, and the Viewer who was responsible for successfully recruiting Sword Lady and Witch into the team?

Their dark side? Shadows? New lives born from the magician portraits? Or are they all AI incarnations of Aurora's Magician's Handbook, but AIs are just wearing different suits to better serve different objects?

Or has the substitute magic spirit become a spirit?

There were too many possibilities, and Ash couldn't make a judgement. He called up the game interface and opened "Operator Management" to look for clues, but immediately saw the grayed-out portrait of Orchid Weisse.

Ash was slightly startled and sighed softly: "This kind of brain-consuming work is obviously the responsibility of Weisser..."

On the other hand, Sonia was thinking about the death madness.

She remembered that Ash had a strong sense of closeness to her at the beginning, and he even relied on her undisguisedly. She thought at that time why this "Legendary Reincarnation" was like a child. Now it seems that the one Ash really relied on was the Death Maniac who helped him through the most difficult years in Broken Lake Prison, not her, Sonia Servi.

It turns out that even the beginning of everything was due to misunderstanding...

"Do you remember the Viewer saying that he was going to help Liz fulfill her wish during the Weaving Festival?"

The witch suddenly walked up to her and whispered in her ear.

"Remember." Sonia lowered her head: "He really dotes on you."

"It's Liz, not me." Diya said, "Besides, helping Liz was actually his second choice. He was just afraid of realizing his own wish, so he gave it to Liz."

"Fear?"

"He said that he has someone in another country that he wants to meet. If he could make a wish, he would actually like to meet that person." Diya said softly, "It's just that he feels that he is not ready, and he also feels that the other person is not ready. He is afraid that meeting will destroy the other person's life, so he wants to continue to maintain the status quo."

"You hate that I met Ash in reality first, and I hate that you met the Viewer in the virtual world first."

Sonia was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked in front of Ash. Under Ash's puzzled gaze, she gently pressed her right hand on her chest and introduced herself: "I am Sword Princess, a sophomore at Sword Flower University in the Starry Kingdom, Sonia Servi. Just call me Sonia."

Ash blinked and replied seriously: "I am a spectator, a social idler, Ash Hiss. Call me Ash."

"Ash, Ash, Ash, Ash..." Sonia chewed on the word carefully, as if she could taste the sweetness from it. She gently extended her hand to Ash, who subconsciously grabbed it, first aligning their palms, then inserting their fingers into each other and sewing them together. Because they were swordsmen, they naturally did not grow their nails, and they tried their best to hold each other without hurting each other.

"Hello, Ash."

"Hello, Sonia."

They looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ash said, "It feels weird to be called by your real name. I feel inexplicably ashamed... How about we switch back to the Observer Sword Witch?"

"No, it's up to you what you want to call me, but if Lisdiya calls you by your real name, I'll call you by your real name too." Sonia said, "Ash, have you finished talking about the reunion?"

"Probably not, but we can talk about you first, Sonia." Ash said, "We still have a lot of time, we can talk slowly."

"I'm still on the same topic." Sonia's fingers gently tickled his palm: "I'm ready, are you ready to come to the stars?"

"Come to think of it," Diya sat down next to Ash and took his arm, saying, "Ash, you did not enter the Kingdom of a Thousand Wishes, but were transported to other places by the spatial turbulence caused by Vichy. Where are you now? Paradise, the Abyss, or back to the Kingdom of Blood Moon?"

Ash blinked and said, "By the way, have you noticed that I have followed a routine when I traveled through countries these times? Although the reasons for traveling through countries are different, I was a death row prisoner who escaped from prison in Blood Moon, a saboteur who followed An Nan to blaspheme the gods in Gospel, and a man who was hunting down Silver Lantern in Senluo..."

"No matter which country I am in, I am always a traveler who cannot settle down. I am either being hunted or hunting others."

Diya and Sonia blinked, not understanding what Ash was talking about.

"So..." Ash said slowly: "Sword Princess, do you know that three wanted criminals from the Sanctuary have recently appeared in the Starry Kingdom?"
